Only the goods that have arrived can be cleared through customs.
If the goods have arrived in separate consignments, a separate import declaration must be submitted for each consignment. In the import declaration, only one date of arrival as well as the details of only one means of transport can be provided.
If you don’t know what goods there are in a consignment that has arrived, you can request an examination of the goods.
To submit message declarations you need an authorisation granted by Customs. In message declaration, the business customer sends the customs declaration from its own system directly to Customs' system. Read more: Message exchange
Businesses log in to the service using Suomi.fi identification and authorisations. A person who submits customs declarations needs a mandate granted by the company’s CEO or by another person with signatory rights or by a person authorised by either of these persons to grant a mandate. If a business wants to use a representative company, it can authorise the representative in Suomi.fi or choose the manner of authorisation. The Suomi.fi mandate theme used in this service is “Customs clearance”. The Katso ID can, for the time being, still be used by businesses that cannot use Suomi.fi identification yet.
